Scammers are up and running on FB Marketplace too. I recently listed the SBC SS/FG I had built up two months ago because I always wanted to build one up and figured it'd be a good bike to just ride around locally. Well, the EM Strada came along and the SBC hasn't seen pavement since. Anyway, listed it on FB Marketplace and not even 10 mins of it being listed, I had 4 "buyers" wanting to send payment already without even seeing the bike in person and would have their movers, wife, cousin and mother pick up the bike. All asking the same question, Zelle or Venmo and wanted my payment info to send payment immediately while their assigned whatever would be on the way to pick up the bike. But once I said I'll take payment only in person and to meet at the local police or fire station, not a single response. Lol. I just reported them and hopefully no one else falls for these scams.
